During the official meeting, Mayor Filatov and Ostrava’s Mayor Jan Dohnal expressed their appreciation for the ongoing partnership, strengthened by the many similarities between Ostrava and Dnipro — both are important industrial centers with a rich industrial heritage and vibrant cultural life. Mayor Dohnal also reiterated Ostrava’s solidarity with Ukraine in the face of ongoing aggression. The discussion focused on expanding existing cooperation and exploring opportunities for collaboration in new areas. At the end of the visit, Mayor Filatov signed the City’s Book of Honour.
As part of the visit, Mayor Filatov received a special gift — a painting created by Anastasiia, a talented art student from Kharkiv who is currently studying at the Secondary School of Art in Ostrava.
Dnipro is one of Ukraine’s five largest cities, serving as a key economic, cultural, and educational hub in central Ukraine. It has a population of around one million and a metropolitan area of approximately 1.8 million residents.
